Exploding onto the screen with breathtaking effects and exhilarating storytelling, the groundbreaking and visually stunning epic adventure Beowulf - Director's Cut makes its DVD and HD DVD debut on February 26, 2008 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
 Academy Award®-winning director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump) utilizes state-of-the-art technology to conjure a world the likes of which has never been seen before in “an astonishing experience” that qualifies as “a work of art” (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC’s Reel Talk). Starring Angelina Jolie (A Mighty Heart), Anthony Hopkins (Fracture), Ray Winstone (The Departed), Robin Wright Penn (Hounddog) and John Malkovich (Eragon), Beowulf tells the ancient tale of a great warrior who faces many demons both on the battlefield and within himself. The result is “a film people will be talking about for years” (Jeffrey Lyons, NBC’s Reel Talk).
